heh, we already knew that.
MS is incapable of fixing anything, they just keep adding more bloat on top
of their existing garbage.
...but just change a few things around, add some eye candy and the fanboys
will wet their pants all over again.

"...Bottom line: So far, Windows 7 looks, behaves, and performs almost
exactly like Windows Vista. And it breaks all sorts of things that used to
work just fine under Vista. In other words, Microsoft's follow-up to its
most unpopular OS release since Windows Me threatens to deliver zero
measurable performance benefits while introducing new and potentially
crippling compatibility issues....:

And? It's still Vista with lipstick. I hear the bells tolling for
Microsoft. Of course your reply admits that Vista needs improvement.

So maybe you should stick to your wonderful Ubuntu. You know, the OS that
commands less than one percent of the desktop installations. You know, the
OS that is FREE and still after many years claims less than one percent of
the desktop installations.

So, people download Ubuntu, try it out and quickly dismiss it as JUNK.

People like me. It's free, and I still felt ripped off.

hehehe...there is nothing at all wrong with Vista...oh...I forgot...a
broke POS sheep-fukkin lying linux troll like you wouldn't know that
would you cause you're too broke and far too stupid to afford or use Vista.
Get lost you fukkin lying linux asshole loser.
Or stick around and continue having your ass kicked by everyone in
here!...LOL!

The pre-beta version is exactly like Vista there is no disputing that. It
doesn't even have the so called 'eye candy' you refer to so the 'fanboys' as
you put it can't 'wet their pants' because they haven't seen or used the
latest build. Only time will tell how the new features of Windows 7 will pan
out.

When I first used the pre- beta I made my feeling known to Microsoft that I
wasn't impressed. But then how could I be when the build I have is way
behind the one currently being used by Microsoft developer's.

Now that I have been using it on a regular basis I can see some of the
improvements, but I will reserve judgement until the 'official' beta builds
start to come on stream in 2009.

As for Windows 7 pre-beta 'breaking' things the only thing that doesn't
install on my system is Nuance paperport and that is because it is looking
for Vista SP1 and can't find it. Other than that slight glitch, and it is
only slight (it is also a Nuance problem not Microsoft's) I am running the
same software on Windows 7 as I am on Windows Vista.

And one other important point, considering that this is a pre-beta build the
build is extremely stable; far stabler than any early beta of Windows Vista.

That didn't prevent the writer of the article to see that it's Vista
with new lipstick.
